Today in aviation history: On March 10, 2019, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302, a Boeing 737 MAX 8 (ET-AVJ), crashed minutes after takeoff from Addis Ababa Bole International Airport en route to Nairobi. All 149 passengers and 8 crew members on board died. Investigators later found that repeated nose-down commands from the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS)—triggered by faulty angle-of-attack data—forced the aircraft into an unrecoverable dive. The tragedy led to the global grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX fleet and major changes to aircraft certification, pilot training, and system design.

International community: History is being written. Many of you, have stood by and watched fascists Mussolini invade Ethiopia and did nothing but watch.

Don’t be those who subject the cradle of humanity, Ethiopia to the brutality of unending fascism, and the brutality of the African hitler: dictator Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 Do what’s right, and standby the people - all 84 communities in Ethiopia, to defeat the dictatorship the cruelty, the people face. See the face of that young man, who doesn’t look to be over 20 years old. See the one in military uniform who’s in his 40s how he’s treating the young man. No one should ever have to face such evil, no one should ever have to be dehumanised in that manner, no one should ever be treated in that manner. International community, support the people of Ethiopia in ushering in new transitional government, so the fascism In Addis Ababa doesn’t become what sets Horn of Africa in flames.

Breaking News: Amhara Fano Forces Conduct Mission in Addis Ababa, Targeting Government Security Forces Unverified video footage has emerged depicting a daring mission carried out by Amhara Fano forces within the capital city of Addis Ababa. Reports suggest that the operation was executed without harm to civilians, with the sole objective of targeting government security forces. According to local sources in Addis Ababa, the Fano forces involved in the operation are believed to be affiliated with the larger Amhara Fano forces, which has been engaged in war with the regime of Abiy Ahmed, whom they accuse of perpetrating genocide against the Amhara people. The purported mastermind behind the mission, Major General Nahusenay, reportedly chose to take his own life rather than surrender to government security forces. Surrender is viewed as a dishonorable act in Amhara culture, dating back to ancient times. The Ethiopian regime has been taken aback by the strength and resilience of the Fano forces and has responded by intensifying crackdowns, targeting innocent Amhara civilians in Addis Ababa. Disturbing reports have emerged of ethnic Amharas being transported to concentration camps reminiscent of World War II standards. The international community is urged to remain vigilant and condemn the atrocities committed by the Ethiopian regime. This incident underscores the fragility of the Ethiopian government and highlights the Amhara Fano forces as potential allies in stabilizing the Horn of Africa. However, the targeting of Amhara civilians in the capital city cannot be ignored and must be met with condemnation and accountability.

Ethiopian Airlines’s CEO’s great interview with the BBC. #Ethiopia #Nigeria #Kenya #SouthAfrica Highlights from the interview: *$8.0 billion revenue by June, ahead of its orginal plan under “vision 2025” (ET is amongst the 30 largest airlines in the world and by far Africa’s largest. It’s bigger than Africa’s four largest flag carriers - Egypt Air, Kenya Airways, Royal Air Maroc and South African Airways - COMBINED). *110 million passengers airport starts construction this year (will be amongst the 5 largest in the world and cost $10 billion when completed). *ET has ordered approximately 70 new Boeing aircrafts, firm & options, which will be delivered over the next few years. *ET manufactures sophisticated parts in Ethiopia for Boeing aircrafts. Comments above in parenthesis ( ) added by me. Additional insight about the strong and decades-long relationship between ET and Boeing: *ET is by far Boeing’s largest customer in Africa. The airline currently flies 162 aircrafts and the vast majority are Boeings including 777s, 787s and 737s. The ~70 new Boeing aircrafts on order, worth billions of dollars, will create/maintain thousands of high paying American jobs. *Yesterday Boeing inaugurated its new Africa headquarters in Addis Abeba, further strengthening the U.S-Ethiopia investment and trade relationships. This aligns with President Trump’s policy of prioritizing trade and investments globally including with African countries. Ethiopia too is prioritizing even more trade and investments with the U.S. The U.S. has been running a trade surplus with Ethiopia for many years primarily because of the billions of dollars of Boeing sales to ET. Furthermore, ET is the largest customer in Africa of the U.S. government’s EXIM Bank based in Washington. Note: ET is on track to have 260+ aircrafts in the next several years, the vast majority will be Boeings but will also include Airbus aircrafts and others. Full interview at BBC News Africa

Ethiopia on the Brink of Full-Fledged Civil War: Ethiopia is on the verge of a full-fledged civil war as ethnic Oromo soldiers march towards the Amhara region, chanting slogans of aggression and targeting the ethnic Amhara population. This alarming development marks a significant escalation in the country's ethnic tensions, which have been fueled by inflammatory rhetoric from leaders within the ethnically Oromo-dominated Ethiopian government. On several occasions, leaders of the Oromo Prosperity Party have made statements inciting violence against the Amhara community. In one particularly instance, a party leader proclaimed that Oromo youth would no longer be sent to destroy the "Neftegna" (a derogatory term for ethnic Amharas) with mere sticks, but with full military backing, including drones. This rhetoric has been matched by actions, with the Ethiopian government's military resources increasingly being deployed as an ethnic tool against the Amharas. Video footage from Oromiya Bale shows Oromo youths, fully equipped and chanting "we will break Neftegna," heading towards the Amhara region with the apparent support of their local population. These videos have also captured Ethiopian military forces declaring their intent to target Amharas, showcasing the clear and dangerous intent of the state apparatus against this ethnic group. The Amhara Fanos, are fighting back against what they perceive as state-sponsored genocide. They have garnered the full support of the Amhara population, who see their actions as a necessary defense against an existential threat. This war is rapidly evolving into an ethnic civil war with a state-sponsored dimension. The Ethiopian military, security, and government structures, heavily dominated by ethnic Oromos, are utilizing all available resources to arm Oromo youths, effectively transforming a political struggle into a civil war. The situation is exacerbated by the government’s explicit endorsement of these actions, as evidenced by the hateful and violent statements made by its leaders. The international community must recognize the dire dynamics unfolding in Ethiopia. The clear shift towards a state-sponsored ethnic war requires urgent intervention. The world cannot afford to ignore the clear signs of impending genocide and must take necessary measures against the Ethiopian regime . The global response will be crucial in determining whether Ethiopia can avert a descent into further genocidal chaos and bloodshed.

Following my recent post regarding General Kassaye Chemeda, who is now a delegate representing Addis Ababa city in Abiy's national dialogue, I got many questions that need clarity: General Kassaye Chemeda was a former Derg military high-ranking officer who was, in 2019, reinstated to advise Prime Minister Abiy. General Kassaye made several speeches calling for mass murder, two of which are worth discussing. The first statement was against Oromo youths (Oct 2019), and the second was against Tigrayans (Nov 2020). In the following video-1, he spoke while training the Ethiopian army and teaching how to mass kill in his words, "devils" (meaning Tigrayans). He says "Shoot with a single bullet; if you are Christian, before you shoot against them (Tigrayans), say in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; if you are Muslim, say Bismillah, I can assure you that these devils won't stop before you." Clap by the army. In one of his media engagements (video-2), he said: "Those youths carrying sticks (Oromo youths) to protest against this government (Abiy administration), the Ethiopian Defense Forces should tell them to put the sticks down; if they refuse, they should shoot on their heads, it is an emergency time, nothing is above Ethiopia." Now, he is chosen to represent Addis Ababa in Abiy's national dialogue! He should have been investigated for major atrocity crimes perpetrated in Ethiopia.

Ethnic Targeting and State Cruelty in Ethiopia: "Listen to the heart-wrenching plea of a mother, her voice laden with unbearable agony, as she begs Ethiopian authorities for the return of her son's lifeless body. In the shadows of neglect, the cries of Ethiopian mothers echo, their anguish overlooked by a world that inadvertently emboldens a tyrannical regime." The state media's release of video footage exposed the harrowing reality of for ethnic Amharas. In one agonizing frame, Nahusenay Andarge Tareke, an ethnic Amhara youth, lay bleeding to death while the state's national TV cameras rolled. Instead of rushing to aid the wounded, security forces callously watched, even laughing callously as a life slipped away. It was a reprehensible act, a betrayal of humanity, where saving a life should have been paramount, regardless of circumstance. The footage captured Nahusenay's excruciating pain, his desperate pleas for help falling on deaf ears. Such brutality serves as a stark warning, a chilling message meant to quell dissent against the ruthless regime reigning over Ethiopia. Abezergashaw's lifeless body, another victim of the violence, was also showcased, further highlighting the regime's disregard for human life. As if the atrocity wasn't enough, reports emerged of torture inflicted upon Habtabmu Andarge, a captured youth, adding another layer of horror to an already grim reality. Disturbing accounts of torture from Ethiopian prisons continue to surface, painting a picture of a regime devoid of compassion or mercy. The cruelty didn't stop at the scene of the shooting. Families, grieving and desperate for closure, traveled from the Amhara region of Gondar to claim the bodies of their loved ones, only to find themselves arrested upon arrival. In a heartbreaking audio clip, the anguished cries of a mother pleading for her son's body echo the pain felt by countless families torn apart by senseless violence. The arrests of grieving family members underscore the regime's ruthless grip on power, extinguishing any hope of justice or solace for those affected. This tragic incident is part of a larger pattern of ethnic targeting and persecution in Ethiopia. For months, ethnic Amharas have faced mass arrests, arbitrary confiscation of wealth, and systemic oppression. Businesses owned by Amharas are seized, their owners imprisoned, and their livelihoods destroyed simply because of their ethnicity. The orchestrated attack on the Amhara community, including the demolition of infrastructure and the targeting of youth, amounts to nothing short of genocide. Ethiopia has become a living hell for ethnic Amharas, with many fleeing for their lives, while the world remains largely indifferent to their plight. In the face of such unspeakable cruelty, one cannot help but question the absence of humanity and the deafening silence of the international community. As atrocities continue to unfold with impunity, the cry for justice grows louder, a plea for the world to open its eyes to the suffering of the Amhara people.

The upcoming weeks could be a period that requires close attention in terms of the geopolitical direction of East Africa. The overall picture in Addis Ababa indicates that the region is passing through a critical threshold. We are in Addis Ababa as part of President Erdoğan’s visit to Ethiopia. 1. This year marks the 100th anniversary of Ethiopia–Türkiye relations. Türkiye’s first embassy in Sub-Saharan Africa was opened in Addis Ababa in 1926. The main theme of the visit, consistent with this historical continuity, is a “Permanent Partnership.” 2. Ethiopia occupies an extremely sensitive position within the conflict-prone and competitive environment of the Horn of Africa. The leadership seeks to consolidate its position on issues it considers vital. At the same time, it tends to turn any emerging opportunity into a strategic gain. 3. However, growing demographic pressure, economic challenges, the fatigue of internal conflict, and other domestic vulnerabilities-combined with the structural disadvantages of being a landlocked country-are pushing Addis Ababa toward alternative strategic options. 4. In this context, the strategy of “access to the sea” is seen as a form of strategic relief-both for managing internal pressures and deepening regional influence. Creating economic breathing space, reducing logistical dependence, and increasing strategic maneuverability are the core motivations behind this approach. 5. This places Ethiopia in a difficult equation: it must produce policy within a competitive-and at times confrontational-regional environment where its ambitions may clash with the sovereignty sensitivities of its neighbors. The search for maritime access therefore stands out as an issue that could easily harden the region’s fragile balance. 6. Its closer alignment with the UAE in the Sudan civil war reflects the cumulative pressures of multiple security and economic challenges. Recent developments suggest that Ethiopia may seek a more active and visible role in the Sudan file in the near term. 7. At the same time, military movements along the Eritrean border carry risks that could trigger a new confrontation. For Ethiopia, the Eritrea issue is directly linked to its most critical maritime option. Access to the sea through Assab remains central to its strategic thinking. Historical grievances and current security concerns are deeply intertwined in this file. 8. Another critical relationship is with Egypt. The core issue here is the Nile Basin and water security. While the GERD dam represents energy production, development, and strategic leverage for Ethiopia, it is perceived by Egypt as a high-risk scenario. What began as a technical water management issue has evolved into a geopolitical matter directly tied to regional power balances. 9. When regional dynamics and the engagement of external actors are considered together, it becomes clear that Ethiopia is navigating a multilayered but high-risk foreign policy landscape-one that affects fault lines across North Africa, the Middle East, the Gulf, and the Horn of Africa. 10. Within this broader tension environment, Türkiye-Ethiopia relations remain in a positive trajectory. Despite differences in certain areas, the potential for deeper cooperation is high. Today, both leaders delivered strong messages in this direction. 11. President Erdoğan’s visit comes at a time when regional conflict dynamics are becoming increasingly visible. Ankara is seeking to develop a balancing approach aimed at preventing potential conflicts and lowering rising regional tensions. Given that Türkiye has both direct and indirect interests tied to the nature of its relationship with Ethiopia, the process is being managed with careful strategic consideration. 12. From arrival to departure, President Erdoğan was warmly received in Addis Ababa. The key areas of focus included economic cooperation, defense industry partnerships, and critical regional issues.

A Cry for Justice: Teenager's Heart-Wrenching Plea Amidst the Tragedy in Amhara region of Ethiopia. In a heart-wrenching video that has recently surfaced, a young ethnic Amhara teenager stands amidst the ruins of his brother home, tears streaming down his face, shouting to the heavens, and desperately pleading with God to end the nightmare that has befallen his family and his nation. The video captures the raw anguish and despair of a teenager whose world has been shattered by a brutal murder, a murder that occurred within the sanctity of his own home through a drone strike, a painful reminder of the dire situation in the war-torn Amhara region of Ethiopia. With a trembling voice, the teenager cries out, "Nobody can live in peace while Abiy Ahmed is still in power." His anguished words are a stark indictment of the more than two years of war that have plagued the region, leading to man-made starvation and unimaginable suffering for its inhabitants. The teenager's voice cracks as he mentions his brother, Belete, known as the honest farmer, who had struggled throughout his life to survive and provide for his family. Belete was tragically killed, leaving a void that can never be filled. In his plea to God, the teenager expresses his deep agony, claiming that he lost not just one but two brothers due to the actions of the Nobel Prize-winning Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. He repeatedly cries out "Egziabher," the Amharic name for God, while wishing for the end of Abiy Ahmed's rule for the pain he has caused. The teenager recounts the horrors of the air strike, describing how one brother was burned along with their home, while the other was brutally murdered. In the backdrop of the video footage, a scene of devastation unfolded. The remnants of a demolished house testified to the brutal air strike that had befallen the teenager's family. The roof and significant portions of the house lay in ruins, a grim reminder of the tragedy that had unfolded. The teenager's sister, carrying a picture of the deceased, followed a solemn Ethiopian tradition to express her profound grief and the grim reality of an air strike that had claimed her brother's life. This video is just a glimpse into the unimaginable suffering that has unfolded in the Amhara region. Reports from local sources suggest that the tragedy captured in this video is only the tip of the iceberg. Atrocities, war crimes, and massacres that amount to genocide have allegedly been committed by government forces, with full knowledge and complicity of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. The plea of this grief-stricken teenager and the harrowing scenes captured in the video highlight the urgent need for the world to break its silence and take decisive action against the brutal regime in Ethiopia. The suffering of the people in the Amhara region demands a response from the global community, a response that acknowledges the immense human cost of the ongoing war and seeks to bring an end to the cycle of genocide and destruction that has gripped this troubled nation.

The State Capture of Ethiopia by Oromo Fascists Abiy Ahmed Ali 🇪🇹 came to power 6 years ago with the promise of change, a promise to move #Ethiopia away from the ethnic politics that had deeply divided and polarized the nation since an ethnic based apartheid constitution was imposed on Ethiopians in 1995 by the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF). After 27 years of subjugation by a small ethno fascist Tigrayan elite that had dominated the Ethiopian economy, military and intelligence, the Ethiopian people were desperate to move away from ethnic politics and towards a more unifying pro Ethiopian politics. One of Abiy's first actions when he came to power was purging Tigrayans, who had an oversized representation within most institutions, from positions of power and replacing them with Oromos. He then went on to dissolve the EPRDF political party that TPLF had established when they first came to power, and replaced it with Prosperity Party, which he claimed was a pro Ethiopian party. While telling non-Oromo Ethiopians that he wants to move Ethiopia away from ethnic politics, he was telling his Oromo constituents in Afan Oromo that Prosperity Party was established for the interest of Oromo. In a speech he gave in Bale, Oromia 4 years ago, he is heard telling an Oromo crowd that "Prosperity Party was created so that our enemies (Amhara and Tigrayans) don’t get to sit down and make decisions on our country’s future. Those who say Oromo aren’t capable of building their own party to rule Ethiopia, or that Oromos shouldn’t rule Ethiopia are the ones insulting Prosperity Party." Today, almost every institution in Ethiopia is led by Oromo fascists, from the Chief of Staff of the Ethiopian army (Field Marshal Berhanu Jula), the Commander of the Ethiopian Air Force (Lt. Gen. Yilma Merdasa), the Head of the Federal Police (General Demelash GebreMichael), the Mayor of Addis Ababa (Adanech Abiebie) and many others. Even religious institutions aren't safe from Orommumma domination, where the chair of the Ethiopian Islamic Affairs Supreme Council, Grand Mufti Sheik Umer Iddris (Amhara), was replaced by Haji Ibrahim Tufa (Oromo). The attempt to form a government backed breakaway Oromo Orthodox Synod in February of this year was also part of this Orommumma project, but with major backlash and after many civilian deaths, Abiy backed out of this plan and instead forced the Ethiopian Orthodox Church to ordain government appointed ethnic-Oromo bishops. Today, after fighting a devastating two years civil war with TPLF that killed close to a million people and destroyed Tigray, parts of Amhara, and parts of Afar, Abiy and his Oromo fascist government have waged a full scale genocidal #WarOnAmhara as they see Amharas as the last obstacle to fully implement the Oromo domination of Ethiopia. Abiy's recent claim of Ethiopia needing ownership of the Red Sea is also part of the plan of bringing about Oromo domination. His speech below from 4 years ago will give you a clear idea that his plans of bringing about Oromo domination goes beyond Ethiopia's borders. Abiy's full speech: "Prosperity Party was created so that our enemies (Amhara and Tigrayans) don’t get to sit down and make decisions on our country’s future. Those who say Oromo aren’t capable of building their own party to rule Ethiopia, or that Oromos shouldn’t rule Ethiopia are the ones insulting Prosperity Party. But since Oromo are the father of Prosperity and the owners of new ideas, we don’t diminish our own, we don’t push away our own and we don’t hate our own. We will come, we will hold each other accountable, we will win, we will cross to the other side, and we will cross others to the other side. There is nothing that can stop us (Oromos). Let alone those that are jumping around like a gazelle today (Amhara), we’ve eaten and kicked out Weyane (Tigrayans) that ate us for 27 years. It’s only until Oromos wake up, once Oromos wake up, a gazelle can’t eat us. We Oromos are elephants, we break things, we eat, and we rule. We have ideas, we have institutions, and we have relations with the world. Our people know us through our work ethic, and we know our people, we know our elders. Together we will rule the entire Africa."

"We will fire drones just like any other weapons against ethnic Amharas; there is nothing special about it." Ethiopian Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula. In a video interview, Ethiopian military Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula discussed the massacre of ethnic Amhara civilians. He conveyed that Amharas should not complain about civilian massacres in the ongoing war, asserting that being in a war implies accepting the risk of death. He emphasized that since the people of Amhara were part of the agreement for the war, they should accept the consequences of death and refrain from expressing grievances about civilian massacres. Moreover, Jula clarified the purpose of drones, emphasizing their role in warfare. He specifically mentioned that the procurement of drones was for military use and not for media exhibition. Comparing drones to guns, he underscored that they are merely tools of war and would be used accordingly in Amhara region. He reiterated the military's firm intent to utilize drones as a weapon in the conflict. This speech has sparked debate regarding the ethical use of drones in warfare and the responsibility of individuals involved in war. The controversy surrounding Jula's statements raises questions about the morality of warfare and the acceptance of civilian massacres as an inevitable consequence. Ethiopian Field Marshal Birhanu Jula emphatically stated, "We will fire drones just like any other weapons; there is nothing special about it." He asserted that the drone attacks would persist.

"We will fire drones just like any other weapons against ethnic Amharas; there is nothing special about it." Ethiopian Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula. In a video interview, Ethiopian military Defense Field Marshal Birhanu Jula discussed the massacre of ethnic Amhara civilians. He conveyed that Amharas should not complain about civilian massacres in the ongoing war, asserting that being in a war implies accepting the risk of death. He emphasized that since the people of Amhara were part of the agreement for the war, they should accept the consequences of death and refrain from expressing grievances about civilian massacres. Moreover, Jula clarified the purpose of drones, emphasizing their role in warfare. He specifically mentioned that the procurement of drones was for military use and not for media exhibition. Comparing drones to guns, he underscored that they are merely tools of war and would be used accordingly in Amhara region. He reiterated the military's firm intent to utilize drones as a weapon in the conflict. This speech has sparked debate regarding the ethical use of drones in warfare and the responsibility of individuals involved in war. The controversy surrounding Jula's statements raises questions about the morality of warfare and the acceptance of civilian massacres as an inevitable consequence. Ethiopian Field Marshal Birhanu Jula emphatically stated, "We will fire drones just like any other weapons; there is nothing special about it." He asserted that the drone attacks would persist.

Warning long read ...if you are allergic to reading please feel free to go back to TikTok 1/3 The China of Africa Is Rising — And Kenya we are busy politicking at funerals. I have not been to Ethiopia recently, but I have not needed to. The evidence of what is happening north of our border is everywhere in news bulletins, in industry reports, in the testimonies of business people and diplomats who return from Addis Ababa struggling to describe what they have seen. When the African Union's own Special Envoy, Liberata Mulamula, tells the Ethiopian News Agency that "two years ago, no one would have imagined Addis Ababa looking like this," you pay attention. When you watch the concrete developments unfold not promises, not feasibility studies, but inaugurations, factory openings, and groundbreakings you are then forced to ask a painful question: what exactly are we doing in Kenya? Let me lay out what I have been observing. In Hawassa, a city of roughly 300,000 people in southern Ethiopia, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has built one of the most ambitious industrial ecosystems on the African continent. The Hawassa Industrial Park is up and running. It now hosts dozens of factories, employs tens of thousands of young Ethiopians — the majority of them women — and is equipped with Africa's largest Zero-Liquid Discharge wastewater treatment system that recycles ninety percent of its sewage water. This is not a PowerPoint presentation at a Nairobi hotel conference. This is steel, concrete, and humming production lines. PM Abiy is not resting. In April 2026, he inaugurated three new solar panel manufacturing factories at Hawassa — Toyo Phase 2, Origin, and Lumintech — alongside an industrial gas plant. Together, these solar facilities will produce an annual capacity of 11.3 gigawatts of clean energy components. The story behind this is instructive and worth dwelling on. Abiy visited Vietnam, toured a Toyo solar panel factory, met the company's president, and within 3 months the first facility was operational in Ethiopia. Now this is EXECUTION. The irony is that the investment required to set up these factories is not even astronomical — it is the kind of money that routinely vanishes in Kenya through corruption, inflated tenders, and deals that exist only in whispered conversations. The Dangote partnership tells the same story of decisive action. In August 2025, Aliko Dangote and the Ethiopian government signed a $2.5 billion agreement to construct a fertiliser plant in Gode, in Ethiopia's Somali Region. Today Dangote himself with PM Abiy Ahmed were on site for the groundbreaking ceremony. The facility will produce up to three million metric tonnes of urea annually, potentially placing Ethiopia among the world's top five producers. Think about that. The country that was Africa's largest fertiliser importer is positioning itself to become a regional exporter. The ownership structure 60 % Dangote, 40 % Ethiopian Investment Holdings which ensures the state retains a meaningful stake in its own transformation. This is not charity. This is strategy. Now consider the energy picture that underpins all of this. Ethiopia had commissioned the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, a $5 billion megaproject built without a single dollar of foreign financing funded entirely through domestic bonds, salary deductions, and public contributions. With a capacity of 5,150 megawatts, the GERD has effectively doubled Ethiopia's generation capacity. The result is decisive: Ethiopia now has the lowest electricity prices in Africa.

Abiy’s Time Warp: Channeling Yilma and Menelik in 2024! __________________________________ Today, Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed is demanding a sea from Somalia — a sovereign neighbor who does not owe him (excuse my language) a sh*t because Abiy thinks he is stronger. In the 19th century, Abiy’s predecessor, Emperor Menelik II, was also saying the same thing to colonial powers scrambling for Africa at the Berlin Conference; see below: The kid in the video is in the United States in the 1960s; this was at the height of the civil rights movement, but he had the audacity to talk like that and laugh at it too. Whenever I hear Abiy and his minions talking about getting a sea from Somalia — I remember this kid; Yilma is his name. Today, the Ethiopian Prime Minister, whose capital Addis Ababa is the headquarters of the African Union, is talking to Somalia and Somalis like this Yilma — yapping that he must have a sea. What sea! ————————————————— Here is Emperor Menelik II’s letter to European colonizers, asking to join the Scramble for Africa after the infamous Berlin Conference: ————————————————— “I have no intention at all of being an indifferent spectator if the distant Powers hold onto the idea of dividing up Africa. For the past 14 centuries, Ethiopia has been an island of Christians in a sea of Pagans. Since the All-Powerful has protected Ethiopia up until now, I am hopeful that He will keep and enlarge it also in the future, and I do not think for a moment that He will divide Ethiopia among the distant Powers. In the past, the boundary of Ethiopia was the sea. Without our use of force and without the aid of the Christians, our boundary on the sea fell into the hands of the Muslims. Today we do not pretend to be able to recover our sea coast by force; but we hope that the Christian Powers, advised by our Savior, Jesus Christ, will restore our seacoast boundary to us, or give us at least a few ports along the coast.” /// I think it’s high time our cousins accepted that, in His infinite wisdom, God decided they should be landlocked. The silver lining, however, is that He conveniently placed 17 ports nearby, run by their Eritrean, Kenyan, Djiboutian, Sudanese, and Somali neighbors, where they can import and export without hindrance.

Rape of minor boys as old as 5 , by Ethiopian Military Forces in Gondar, Amhara Region: In the midst of Gondar, Amhara region, a dark cloud of horror looms as reports emerge of heinous acts perpetrated by Ethiopian military forces. Among the victims, age offers no protection, as minor boys as old as 5 are subjected to unimaginable violence of rape. One particularly harrowing account comes from a mother, her voice trembling with anguish as she recounts the unspeakable ordeal of her 5-year-old son. Rushed to the hospital, medical examinations confirm the grim reality: her son has become a victim of rape and sodomy at the hands of Ethiopian military personnel. Desperate to shield her son from further harm, she consents to post-exposure prophylaxis, a grim reminder of the irreversible trauma inflicted upon him. Tragically, he is not alone. Disturbing reports continue to surface, revealing a pattern of assaults targeting children as young as 5 year old , 9 and 11 year old , all falling victim to the brutal actions of those in power. These atrocities unfold against a backdrop of attack , marked by the recent onslaught launched by government forces led by Abiy Ahmed. Gondar bears witness to a reign of terror, with rape emerging as a sinister weapon of war, systematically employed to terrorize and subjugate the populace. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission corroborates these grim realities, documenting the relentless campaign of violence against ethnic Amharas. Yet, the world remains largely indifferent, turning a blind eye to the suffering of a community besieged by unspeakable horrors. The mother's anguished testimony reverberates through the silence, a stark reminder of the pain and suffering endured by countless others. In a society bound by cultural norms, speaking out against such atrocities remains a daunting task, compounded by fear and stigma. Once more, ethnic Amharas find themselves abandoned to their fate, victims of a relentless onslaught that spares neither age nor innocence. As the cries of the oppressed echo through the corridors of history, the world stands at a crossroads - will it continue to avert its gaze, or will it rise in solidarity against the tide of injustice threatening to engulf us all?

Ethnic Amhara Massacres Exposed by Ethiopian Parliament Representative: In a shocking revelation, Ethiopian Parliament representative Mr. Abebawe Desalew, elected in Jiga, Gojjam, Amhara region, has reported heinous acts of violence perpetrated by the Ethiopian military against civilians in his constituency. According to Mr. Desalew, unarmed civilians were massacred in broad daylight, forced to choose between being burned alive with gasoline or shot in the head. Mr. Desalew, who was born in the area and whose family still resides there, described a horrifying incident that took place in the city of Jiga. He recounted how civilians were executed on the street while pleading for their lives, emphasizing that they were not combatants but ordinary people. The exact location of this atrocity was Dembecha Ber Sefer, near Gohe Hotel, adjacent to a gasoline station. There, civilians were ordered to kneel and choose their method of death, a brutal act that underscores the severity of the violence. The parliamentarian asserted that the victims were all unarmed civilians, with no Amhara Fano fighters among them. He highlighted that the entire population of the city witnessed this massacre, further corroborating his claims. Mr. Desalew's bold statements provide crucial evidence of the atrocities amounting to genocide being committed against ethnic Amharas. Massacre in Debre Keraniyo Church: Another tragic event took place in the city of Keraniyo, Eastern Gojjam, at the Debre Keraniyo Church. During a monthly religious ritual, seven individuals were digging a grave for a recently deceased woman. According to the church's priest, Ethiopian soldiers armed with heavy machinery raided the church grounds. In an attempt to protect the congregation, the priest ordered the believers to seek refuge inside the church. However, the seven grave diggers continued their task, believing that their genuine work would spare them. Tragically, all seven individuals were brutally executed by government soldiers. The priest, deeply pained by the senseless violence, questioned the reason behind their killing, as they were merely performing a cultural duty of grave digging. Further reports indicate a systematic execution of Amhara youths by the Ethiopian military. Witnesses have stated that the military operates under a chilling motto: "Behind every Amhara, there is one terrorist." This has led to indiscriminate killings, including the execution of homeless street beggars and individuals with mental illnesses. In Jiga alone, over 23 unarmed civilians were executed, among them a well-known 35-year-old woman, Yiftu Getent, who was known in the city for her mental illness. Her body was found on the street, a stark symbol of the brutality inflicted upon the region. These massacres are just the tip of the iceberg. Ethnic Amharas in the region face an existential threat of state-sponsored violence, with numerous untold stories of suffering and death. Mr. Desalew's testimony sheds light on the urgent need for international attention and intervention to halt these atrocities and protect the Amhara population from further harm. The deliberate targeting and execution of unarmed civilians, including vulnerable individuals, call for immediate action to address and prevent further genocide against the ethnic Amhara community.
